Almost 100,000

Living in New England, it's hard to imagine how popular college football is in other parts of the country. Fans here have only three Division 1 programs to root for: Boston College, UConn and UMass. BC and UConn have a solid fan base and fill their stadium. UMass is trying to find itself.

Yesterday, Ohio State had their spring football scrimmage. They attracted 99,931 fans to the stadium to see the team play among themselves. We will never see that around here. We are two football worlds apart.
